People forget that Havertz is not a no. 8 because he can't press and he can't handle pressing.

People also forget that he comes from Bundesliga

Timo already with the two misses of the season 

It's starting to get serious now. He is getting away with it way too often. We can seriously lose points because of him if he continues to miss the most easiest chances.

If he's not an 8 what is he? He's not a 10 or a striker or a winger

if Mendy had not stopped coming to the ball on that break he could have kicked it out of play

but he hesitated

and so did Zouma

thus a goal for Bamford

[Jase 43,479]

1. That was kinda a shit half. Could have scored 3, 4 goals but we are leveled instead because Zouma went AWOL and Mendy turned into Kepa for a moment.

2. Can't defend Werner for that miss early in the game because...that was just fucked up but did we buy him only because he scored lots of goals for Leipzig? Because those number looked pretty? He didn't score 90+ goals for Leipzig in the Bundesliga and Champions League by constantly playing out wide like a winger. He is a STRIKER and yet, we are using him like a winger. He doesn't do well out wide because he isn't a winger and then gets slammed for not doing the things that a wide man should be doing.

3. Two of our front 3 are in awkward spots right now. Werner is not a winger but is being used like one on the LW while Pulisic is not suited on the RW but he is being played there out of necessity. Pulisic did go to the LW eventually but then, Werner went to the RW, which made things even more awkward. Ironically, the one player who could at least do a decent job out wide on the RW with Ziyech out is not in the matchday squad.

That Rapinha is a good and difficult player to deal with. I'm bricking it everytime he gets on the ball.  We need to increase the intensity second half. Leeds much more hungrier.

[Vesper 27,310]

Zouma also got pulled too wide

he is far faster than Bamford, he should have stayed more narrow

same here, is look dangerous on most plays

[DanP2311 65]

Havertz thrives as a central #10, with Mount and Kante both playing pinched defensive roles.

Chill dude. 

[NikkiCFC 7,579]

Yeah he is not playing well but if we put Kova for him and Tammy will eventually replace Giroud considering he is only attacker left on the bench who will score? Kova and Mount are never a goal threat and Werner and Tammy doesn't give me any confidence. So only Puli maybe.

Number 10. 

[DDA 9,570]

Did Werner play as the ST or as the LW at Leipzig??? 

I'm have heard he played both?

 

[Hutcho 8,443]

We're all over them gotta take these chances.

[King Kante 1,296]

This is the kind of game Jorgi would actually do really well in.

What has his miss got to do with him playing wide. He was an inch away from the line [emoji23]

 

Werner played out wide for leipzig more than he played central. Him missing chances has nothing to do with position

I'm not too unhappy with the situation at the half.

main thing I am unhappy with is the Ziyech injury

He played upfront with Poulsen and even when he played on the LW, it was in the back 3 system, with him close to Poulsen. Certainly rarely played as a wide man, if at all with Leipzig.
